Brewery news Ukraine & China: Obolon beer enters the Chinese market
Obolon Corporation, one of the largest producers of beer and soft drinks in Ukraine, is entering the Chinese market, Interfax-Ukraine reported on April 17.

Head of the supervisory board of public joint-stock company Obolon, Serhiy Bloschanevych, said at the National Export Forum that Ukrainian breweries are trying to compensate their loss of part of the domestic market.

He said that the most promising markets are the Asian, Latin American and African markets, while the EU market is saturated and competitive.

"The markets of Asia, Latin America and Africa are more interesting for us. For example, we started working with China," he said.

He told Interfax-Ukraine that the first small batches of beer have been already shipped to China.

Bloschanevych expressed indignation at the absence of a government reaction to the ban on Ukrainian beer imports by Russia's Rospotrebnadzor last year.

"We asked the Ukrainian prime minister, the Economic Development and Trade Ministry and Foreign Ministry several times to settle the issue with a ban on importing Russian beer in response to the ban of our exports to Russia. Some steps have been made, but this is not enough. We hope that the situation will be finally resolved," he said.

Referring to the State Statistics Service, he said ...More info on site


Brewery news Myanmar: Carlsberg starts selling locally brewed Tuborg and Yoma beers
Carlsberg has launched sales of its locally brewed Tuborg and Yoma brands in Myanmar as it seeks to become the first post-sanctions foreign producer to break into a growing beer sector dominated by state and military-backed enterprises, Reuters reported on April 22.

The firm began sales before Thingyan, providing domestic competition to market leader Myanmar Brewery.

Carlsberg Asia Region senior vice president Roy Bagattini said in a statement when the firm first announced it would come to Myanmar that the Danish company had closely followed developments in the country and was encouraged by recent political developments.

"We believe that the timing is right for us to invest," he said in January of 2013. "We expect that the Myanmar beer market will grow strongly in coming years as the economy expands."

Carlsberg established a local partnership with Myanmar Golden Star Breweries (MGS) in 2013, taking a 51 per cent stake in their joint venture Myanmar Carlsberg Co Ltd, and building a US$50 million brewery in Bago.

The brewery's sales began for Tuborg, an international brand, and Yoma, a brand created for the local market, in April. Tuborg's pricing is to be similar to Tiger, and the beer is available in kegs, cans and bottles, while ...More info on site


Brewery news Russia: Heineken to use idle brewing capacity for producing kvass beverage
Dutch brewer Heineken is to start production of the traditional Russian kvass brewed beverage in four factories across Russia. The company is using spare capacity as Russia’s beer market is shrinking, rt.com reported on April 23.

The Ostmark, Sheehan and Rusich brands will be produced in Heineken factories in Kaliningrad, Sterlitamak (the Republic of Bashkortostan), Khabarovsk and Irkutsk. All three are part of the company’s brand portfolio.

The decision to start producing kvass is aimed at using spare capacity due to a slump in the beer market, said company spokesman Cyril Bolmatov. Currently 40 percent of industry capacity remains underutilized. Companies don’t have to invest in reequipping bottling lines, as kvass production is similar to beer. Heineken intends to sell the kvass in nearby regions.

Heineken beer sales in Russia fell 10 percent in 2014, and if sales of kvass are successful, the company intends to market one of the brands nationwide. The beer market in Russia fell by 8.6 percent in 2014, according to Russia’s statistical service Rosstat.

Market decline began before the introduction of sanctions and the devaluation of the rouble. Between 2009 and 2014 excise duty on beer rose from 3 roubles to 18 roubles per litre, forcing a reduction in ...More info on site


Brewery news Fiji: Paradise Beverages’ beer sales volume decreases in 2014
